As it usually falls to the chief bridesmaid or maid of honour to organise the hen party, this fun event can sometimes cause a lot of stress: how can the bridesmaid arrange a fantastic party within everyone’s budget with fun activities for the day and night, as well as organise the hen party gifts and keep the bride happy at the same time? Nobody seems satisfied with a simple night on the town anymore, hen sashes and personalised t shirts, so where can you get more original ideas for activities and
hen gifts from?
Right here. If you are a bridesmaid tasked with organising a hot hen party and super hen party gifts, read on for our definitive guide to the current hottest hen party ideas and hen night gifts in the UK...
Themed Hen Party Ideas
A theme is essential for the modern hen party – without one the event could be just another girls’ night out. Our theme suggestions are:
1. Angel/Fallen Angel theme – everyone dresses up in wings and a halo, there is an angel motif for the decorations, and each guest must confess at least one ‘sin’.
2. Police Woman theme – this is a great way to stand out from the crowd. Costumes are cheap to buy or hire, and this theme is guaranteed to attract a lot of attention!
3. In The Pink theme – you guessed it; everyone must wear pink from head to toe. This includes pink wigs and underwear, and can even stretch to pink food and pink champagne. Why not order some special pink champagne gifts to get everyone in the mood?
4. Wig theme – have fun with wigs of all shapes and styles, and swap them around for extra laughs. Great for hiding inhibitions, wigs come in every colour and style you can imagine, from sexy blonde to shocking red. Just make sure all the hen guests wash their hair before the hen party...
Day Activity Ideas
1. Riverboat/Canal Boat Cruise – Take away the stress of the wedding planning for one day with a hen party on the river, take bottles of champagne and
engraved flutes with the name of each member of the hen party on to enjoy along with strawberries perhaps or a picnic to make the day even more pleasurable.
2. Fire Engine tour – The latest in hen party fun; a tour around the city in a shiny red fire engine, complete with gorgeous firemen in those yummy uniforms.
3. Pole-Dancing Lessons – Another newly popular hen party activity, pole-dancing lessons are fun and will help get the bride and bridesmaid into shape for the big day. Why not chill out and relax after all that exercise, in the hotel room toasting the bride to be with champagne in your personalised engraved flutes?
Night Activity Ideas
1. Medieval Banquet – Another opportunity to dress up, the medieval banquet is a popular way to let your hair down, with flagons of ale, silly hats and a unique atmosphere. You can use your engraved flutes here too.
2. Night At The Dogs – While this may seem more of a stag party event, it is becoming increasingly popular for a hen party, especially for those of you on tight budgets.
3. Casino – Dress up to the nines for a night in a casino – just remember not to let the bride blow the honeymoon budget!
Engraved Flutes as Hen Gifts
Hen Gifts are traditionally given to the bride to be as another way of remembering a fabulous weekend. Giving hen gifts, such as engraved flutes as well as these very unusual hen party gifts to members of the hen party with names and even the date of the hen party is great, they can be used during the hen party in the day, during the night and if you are feeling up to it, sipping brand champagne from your personalised engraved champagne flutes in the morning with your pancakes too!
Do something different with one of our hen party ideas and give unusual hen gifts this year to make even more special memories, give engraved flutes.
